_Echoes_ has always been one of my favorites. In my search for "That
Sound" a station up in Mineapolis, Minnesota, KQRS if I remember
correctly, played a cut by Steve Tibbitts off his first (self titled)
album.

I'd "highly" recomend it. ;-)

My first HW was "Warrior..." that I found going through the bins at a
Target store in '75. At this time in my life I would never by an album
because I had heard it on the radio (with few exceptions like Steve
Tibbitts). I'd buy because I liked the cover art, of the name of the
group, or the names of the songs. In the case of WOTEOT all three reasons
hit. Best choice I ever made.

Listening to it was also the first time I ever had true to life realistic
halucinations. ;-)
